Sorry, late posting. I shaved before coming in for the night shift tonight. As promised, mostly the same as last night. 2 good shaves in row with the Gem MMOC and SS blade. I hope everyone had a wonderful March 17th!

Coate’s Lime Cream today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Platinum still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Clubman Whiskey Woods aftershave.

That soap was my idea but it was a HUGE failure. Never again will I recommend any scent to Rod or any other soapmaker!

 

Menthol Monday:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Minora day 5
Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS

Any colder and my face would have disintegrated, but a terrific BBS shave!

Thank you for your kind words, gentlemen.

 

I enjoyed the 34G so much last time out that I decided to reach for the 37C for this mornings ritual. That and the fact I had three days of beard to carve through. soap of the day was RazoRock Black Bay and it is easily my favourite soap scent they make. Great performance and an incredible Bay Rum without the clove. Lathered up with the Chubby 1 which is breaking in nicely and proceeded to get through a wonderful two pass near BBS shave. Great start to the week. Safe travels and happy shaves all.

Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
B-400 by Tom (@twhite)
Schick E2b
Personna blade
CWR
Granddad's Blend AS

I am giving my face a break from the Green Mountain soaps. I may be too sensitive to it. So, it's Williams to the rescue. I am also evaluating a Schick E2b for a shaver from across the street at TOST.

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with B-400 by Tom brush. I did two passes with the Schick E2b razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I made a video of this shave. It will show up here after it has finished processing.

 

Thanks Joseph. Bought Stirling's Glacial Lavender back in Dec 2014 and today was the 9th time using it. Being one of his older formulas, little harder to lather up, but a wonderful soap, and for whatever reason, this Glacial Lavender is colder than the Glacial Spearmint bought at the same time.

 

I like it Jeff, little tough to lather being older formula but loved lavender scent did come through and super cold. Colder than the Glacial Spearmint I bought at the same time.
